rxrpc: Allow a delay to be injected into packet reception

2023-01-31T16:38:09+00:00

If CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_DEBUG_RX_DELAY=y, then a delay is injected between packets and errors being received and them being made available to the processing code, thereby allowing the RTT to be artificially increased. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Marc Dionne cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org

rxrpc: Get rid of the Rx ring

2022-11-08T16:42:28+00:00

Get rid of the Rx ring and replace it with a pair of queues instead. One queue gets the packets that are in-sequence and are ready for processing by recvmsg(); the other queue gets the out-of-sequence packets for addition to the first queue as the holes get filled. The annotation ring is removed and replaced with a SACK table. The SACK table has the bits set that correspond exactly to the sequence number of the packet being acked. The SACK ring is copied when an ACK packet is being assembled and rotated so that the first ACK is in byte 0. Flow control handling is altered so that packets that are moved to the in-sequence queue are hard-ACK'd even before they're consumed - and then the Rx window size in the ACK packet (rsize) is shrunk down to compensate (even going to 0 if the window is full).

rxrpc: Clean up ACK handling

2022-11-08T16:42:28+00:00

Clean up the rxrpc_propose_ACK() function. If deferred PING ACK proposal is split out, it's only really needed for deferred DELAY ACKs. All other ACKs, bar terminal IDLE ACK are sent immediately. The deferred IDLE ACK submission can be handled by conversion of a DELAY ACK into an IDLE ACK if there's nothing to be SACK'd. Also, because there's a delay between an ACK being generated and being transmitted, it's possible that other ACKs of the same type will be generated during that interval. Apart from the ACK time and the serial number responded to, most of the ACK body, including window and SACK parameters, are not filled out till the point of transmission - so we can avoid generating a new ACK if there's one pending that will cover the SACK data we need to convey. Therefore, don't propose a new DELAY or IDLE ACK for a call if there's one already pending. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Marc Dionne cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org

rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout

2020-05-11T15:42:28+00:00

rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is sufficiently sampled. This can cause problems with some fileservers with calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is greater than the call expiry timeout. Fix this by: (1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation and altering it to fit rxrpc. (2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT value. (3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff. Notes: (1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and PING-RESPONSE ACK packets. (2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet. This allows RTT information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also. (3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to generate more than one sample. (4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather than nanoseconds. The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.

rxrpc: Fix call timeouts

2017-11-24T10:18:41+00:00

Fix the rxrpc call expiration timeouts and make them settable from userspace. By analogy with other rx implementations, there should be three timeouts: (1) "Normal timeout" This is set for all calls and is triggered if we haven't received any packets from the peer in a while. It is measured from the last time we received any packet on that call. This is not reset by any connection packets (such as CHALLENGE/RESPONSE packets). If a service operation takes a long time, the server should generate PING ACKs at a duration that's substantially less than the normal timeout so is to keep both sides alive. This is set at 1/6 of normal timeout. (2) "Idle timeout" This is set only for a service call and is triggered if we stop receiving the DATA packets that comprise the request data. It is measured from the last time we received a DATA packet. (3) "Hard timeout" This can be set for a call and specified the maximum lifetime of that call. It should not be specified by default. Some operations (such as volume transfer) take a long time. Allow userspace to set/change the timeouts on a call with sendmsg, using a control message: RXRPC_SET_CALL_TIMEOUTS The data to the message is a number of 32-bit words, not all of which need be given: u32 hard_timeout; /* sec from first packet */ u32 idle_timeout; /* msec from packet Rx */ u32 normal_timeout; /* msec from data Rx */ This can be set in combination with any other sendmsg() that affects a call.

rxrpc: Fix handling of enums-to-string translation in tracing

2017-01-05T10:38:33+00:00

Fix the way enum values are translated into strings in AF_RXRPC tracepoints. The problem with just doing a lookup in a normal flat array of strings or chars is that external tracing infrastructure can't find it. Rather, TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM must be used. Also sort the enums and string tables to make it easier to keep them in order so that a future patch to __print_symbolic() can be optimised to try a direct lookup into the table first before iterating over it. A couple of _proto() macro calls are removed because they refered to tables that got moved to the tracing infrastructure. The relevant data can be found by way of tracing.

rxrpc: Need to produce an ACK for service op if op takes a long time

2016-10-06T07:11:50+00:00

We need to generate a DELAY ACK from the service end of an operation if we start doing the actual operation work and it takes longer than expected. This will hard-ACK the request data and allow the client to release its resources. To make this work: (1) We have to set the ack timer and propose an ACK when the call moves to the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_ACK_REQUEST and clear the pending ACK and cancel the timer when we start transmitting the reply (the first DATA packet of the reply implicitly ACKs the request phase). (2) It must be possible to set the timer when the caller is holding call->state_lock, so split the lock-getting part of the timer function out. (3) Add trace notes for the ACK we're requesting and the timer we clear. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Fix loss of PING RESPONSE ACK production due to PING ACKs

2016-10-06T07:11:49+00:00

Separate the output of PING ACKs from the output of other sorts of ACK so that if we receive a PING ACK and schedule transmission of a PING RESPONSE ACK, the response doesn't get cancelled by a PING ACK we happen to be scheduling transmission of at the same time. If a PING RESPONSE gets lost, the other side might just sit there waiting for it and refuse to proceed otherwise. Signed-off-by: David Howells
